Good news from the school front

Since I’ve been grumbling non-stop about issues connected with my kids’ new career as public school students, I think it’s only fair to say that I came away impressed after the parent-teacher conference with my son’s teacher. The teacher seemed to understand my son pretty well — his strengths and his weaknesses. I got the feeling that she also came away pleasantly surprised that I was not defensive, but had an equally good understanding of, not only his strengths, but also his weaknesses. I’m feeling less stressed about his public school than I have since the day it began.
